Please join us in honoring Ulster County’s volunteers at the Second Annual Ulster Volunteers Day. UlsterCorps is coordinating the event as part of the Hudson Valley Harvest Festival, which will be held September 21st – 22nd 2013 at the Ulster County Fairgrounds in New Paltz. Volunteers from Cornell Cooperative Extension, Family of Woodstock, UlsterCorps, emergency responders and many other Ulster County service agencies will be celebrated as Guests of Honor for all they do to make this community flourish. Volunteers nominated by their agency will receive free admission to the Festival (there is a $5 charge for the general public – kids under 12 are free), a chance to win great raffle prizes donated by local businesses, and be honored at a public ceremony during the Festival. To nominate a volunteer or get more information, please contact volunteer@ulstercorps.org or call 845-481-0331.
